I know this topic has been beat to death, but has anyone dynoed the results of an LS6 intake yet? I'm debating on whether or not to do the swap but I want to be sure the cost of it all is justified with gains that aren't just "marginal".

I've read a bazillion threads on it, some even promising dyno-results, but nothings ever been updated.

Thanks

 

tons of guys on tech.

 

i've seen good dyno # increase, but have not seen enough e/t drop for the $, personally I dont care what people say, all in paper it makes sense but not at the track, I think people underestimate the truck intake, thats why im sticking with my truck intake... on my dyno my truck pulled to 6200rpm and stayed flat all the way to 7200 where rev limit hit... how much more do people really want to spin to? on a stock bottom end?

 

Slightly off topic but i there a difference between the 5.3 truck intake and the 6.0??

 

there is no difference.

 

Cool thanks.

 

Dont think that could have been said much better. Trucks are heavy and I believe the truck intake performs better down low where the trucks need it.

 

The truck intake can't handle big cubes, I have seen big motors with big cams like 230-240ish flatline at 5800 rpms. It might be good for a smaller motor and a mild cam, but the car manifold will make more power on more powerful setups.

 

save your money for some 28" slicks!

 

I'm going to see how deep into the 11's the truck intake will take me. I wanted a vic jr. but I think the $1500 in swap costs could be used in something better than losing a few tenths.
